Self Lovin' Bloghop

The lovely Tara Watson over at Feel of Something New is hosting The Self Lovin' Bloghop all this week (so there's still time to sign up if you'd like to join in!).

Tara's asking us to share something we're good at. It's SO easy to focus on the negatives and Tara wants us to do the opposite and give ourselves a little boost. Great idea!

So, what am I good at? ACK!

Okay. I think one of my strengths is creating likable (but not perfect!) characters people enjoy reading about. I've received good feedback from crit buddies and agents on my characters and I like spending time with them so that's got to be worth something!

Yes! Likeable characters are super important. I'm great at creating likeable villains, but I think some of the good guys fall flat. *sigh* Time to infuse some villain personality into my do-gooders, eh?

Likable characters is such an important aspect of a good story. If the reader enjoys their company they're sure to stick with them, right? Good for you to tackle this. Sometimes it's hard to give ourselves credit.
